Get a copy of WinSCP3 or FileZilla ftp utilities, both are free. They will show you who the owner is for the dirs and files. You can also use a SSH shell command; but, unless you are already familiar with Unix commands, using the utilities will be a lot easier and quicker. To change a file or dir when you do not own or have the proper permissions: Copy the files and dirs to your local HD Delete them on the server. Upload them from your HD to the server. Now the owner will be the ID of ftp login, that's you. Fix the permissions as needed. The files and dirs must have the "others", also called "world", W bit set to write and maybe the X bit also.
So you would recommend a recursive chmod? as long as there's no OS installed it wouldn't do a lot, but of course this would remove a little bit security. (Not that there's a lot of security with windows...:P) But i think that when remounting the partitition, the permissions are reset too. That's why there are options like fmask and dmask :) but somehow they don't work on Mac OS X. Tijnema
